Default Cat must die....

Hey Guys

I am living in Rome Italy and brought my Nightster here from California ... crazy roads, crazy driving but a lot of cool rides... weird question but how can I clean the engine casing on my bike?

For some G@d D@mn reason the wild ferral cats around here have taken it upon themselves to pee on my engine... The bike is kept under a car porch covered up but they get under the covers... I am going to have to search and destroy. But until then..

I have tried everything but cannot get rid of the smell... in 90 degree heat at junctions it absolutely stinks... any ideas? Is there a cleaner that works well and how best to apply. Just scrub with a brush??

Urine is acidic. Neutrelaize it with an alkaline solution (try baking soda).
Buy a dog.

+1, dogs def. work
Baking soda should work very well, make a paste and smear it on thick. then wash.

Put leg hold traps under the bike at night, (fur traps). Miss kitty won't bother you anymore. Try the baking soda trick, then bring it to the car wash. Get rid of the cover, I'm sure that's what smells bad. I had a bunch of cat's around here and the local dog catcher won't do anything about them. Well, I did. No more kittys. And now I have a pit bull. He don't like cats. And he don't **** on the bike, so I'm good. Let us know what you do. HOLLYWOOD...................

Thanks guys... works a treat. Cleans up really well with Baking soda. Bit of white residue but sprayed it down with a little water... good to go.

Great advice... apologies for the weird question. Now going to find a gun to get that d'mn cat...
